Sturm Graz form and stats

Sturm Graz, who have the fewest conceded goals (15) in Tipico Bundesliga, have performed here at Merkur Arena this season with 6 wins from 8 Tipico Bundesliga matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 1 game and lost 1. Sturm has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Merkur Arena. We remember; it was LASK Linz.

In their previous game, the manager C. Ilzer led his Sturm to a defeat in the Tipico Bundesliga match away at LASK Linz. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Merkur Arena. Prior to that, an away loss at LASK Linz.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Sturm have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won two times, drawn one and lost one.

Goals decide football matches and Sturm are scoring many of them at home; 16 on target from 8 league matches. Sturm have only conceded 5 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Wolfsberger AC form and stats

The visitors are W5-D0-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Tipico Bundesliga.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Europa League home defeat versus Tottenham Hotspur with 1-4 on the scoreboard. A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Admira.

We have checked recent matches where Wolfsberger AC have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those two games were one victory, zero draws and one defeat.

The schedule is very tough for Wolfsberger now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Europa League game at Tottenham Hotspur is waiting in only three days.

Wolfsberger AC are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 14 times in 8 away games so far. 11 goals have been conceded by Wolfsberger in these games.
